Summary
We all know our young people are under attack by a godless culture that wants to redefine everything we know to be God’s design. April Readlinger is here today to discuss her interfaith initiative which focuses on using natural law reasoning to address the erosion of the marriage culture. We must learn how to have difficult, uncomfortable, and frank conversations with our children. We’re here to help.
April will stick around during the extended Happy Hour segment and we’re talking about her personal passion and a specific need for mental health support in the cultural conversation today.
